    Eye

    examples

    The idea behind the eye is to draw something you are looking at. Preferabbly something you enjoy or one of your favorite things. I chose a beach sunset. Attached is a word document showing examples of the same project. Maybe they will get your brain juices flowing. 

    Supplies: white paper, pencil, colored pencils and a circle template. (this could be a bowl or something around the house)

    Step one: To be done with a regular pencil. Draw the big circle of the eye. This is supposed to be fairly large, so go big or go home! I used a circle template to help get me started. 

    Step Two: Draw the pupil of the eye and the surrounding eye parts. 

    Step Three: Think if what you want to draw on the inside. Brainstorm with someone around you or look at the examples attached. Draw with detail...remember craftsmanship!

    Step Four: After everything is drawn in pencil, trace with a black colored pencil. Then proceed to color the rest with colored pencils.
